CAO Moontrance Flavors cigar in 4x38 vitola! Let's try this again.
Trying this cigar in a new to me vitola, the 4x38. I found that the "tins" size was a huge punch of artificial flavor and want to see if more natural tobaccos come through in a larger vitola.
Moontrance is 100% exotic fruits and bourbon vanilla extract.

Southern Draw Manzanita cigar with a cause! Funny cigar moment included.
Manzanita is the newest release for Southern Draw, and is translated into little apple! La Manzanita was the nickname they used for the wrapper leaf, and one that stuck as the cigar was crafted.
Not just a cigar company, Southern Draw has charitable aims too. Like many of Southern Draw’s releases, La Manzanita has a part of the proceeds going to the First Nations Development Institute for food and health services.
Handcrafted in the AJ Fernandez factory we know the wrapper and binder are both Habano. While the filler contains some Pelo d’Oro, Corojo 99, and ligero. All leaves are from an undisclosed origin.
